Biological Implications “It is remarkable that heating to raise the temperature of aqueous solutions can give rise to organized proteins … this transition provides a fundamental mechanism whereby proteins fold and function and whereby the energy conversions that sustain living organisms can occur at constant temperature.” Urry, D. W. "Physical Chemistry of Biological Free Energy Transduction as Demonstrated by Elastic Protein-Based Polymers," Journal of Physical Chemistry B 1997, 101, (51), 11007-11028.
